Fairly recent interview with LB on her new role, feminism, the future or Sherlock, Molly, and MF and BC working together...

Excerpts:
About Molly -
IMO the author of this piece was really trying to bait Brealey into dissing Moffat - glad she didn't fall for that bait.
About doing more Sherlocks -
About working with BC and MF -
About rumours that BC and MF were "frosty" on set -
I like how LB phrased the last comment. She shut down the notion that colleagues have to have a "bromance" in order to be in roles that are about a great friendship, while at the same time she squelched the rumours that reared up in tabloids that there was trouble of a personal nature between MF and BC which resulted in the end of the show. Actually I am surprised that the interviewer even dignified those rumours and asked the question, but I am glad that LB answered it in the manner that she did.

Excerpts:
About Molly -
Moffat suggested, in an interview with an American magazine, that Hooper was “fine”, saying: “She probably had a drink and went and shagged someone.” At the time, Brealey tweeted to fans that she disagreed. “I know Steven and I think he was probably just being a bit wicked and saying something offhand,” she says now. His comment, she adds, doesn’t sound like “a real verdict on Molly”, and certainly isn’t in line with conversations the two of them had about the character...
Moffat sent Brealey a text message after it all kicked off. “I don’t have any beef with Steven,” she tells me, refusing to be drawn on whether the writer has a poor track record of writing for women. (Moffat has, in the past, been criticised over female characters in Doctor Who.) “I look around [Sherlock] and see interesting women. Maybe I should feel excited about it as a topic of conversation but I just don’t really. I just wanted to do the best by my character.”

About doing more Sherlocks -
There’s always Sherlock, of course – if, that is, it returns for a fifth series. Brealey doubts it. “There are no plans at the minute; it feels like a natural place for it to stop. I’ve made my peace with us not doing another one.”
She smiles when she thinks about working with the show’s leads, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. “Being on set with those two, you’re just learning. They’re both tremendously famous people, and it’s not unusual for that to develop into some ghastly ego nonsense, but it just didn’t happen.”
About rumours that BC and MF were "frosty" on set -
Is there any truth to recent rumours that the double act aren’t actually friends? “What do we mean by friends,” she questions. “In terms of on set, that relationship has always been, in my experience, really positive and supportive. You’re working quite intensely. I think it would be a nightmare if they hated each other.”
